The Julian Comedy Company.


 Compared with other theatrical con- panies who have visited Canaan, the Julian Comedy Company is like an oasis in desert.

D
 On the occasion of their visit to Springfield, Mass, the REPUBLICAN said |: ''The Julian Comedy Company is the best organization that has ever visited our city, playing at low prices, and well deserve the attendance given them" Having witnessed their remarkably pleasing entertainments given at Canaan during the past week we can truthfully say we think they are the best organiza- tion that has visited Canaan, playing at any price.
 They will appear at Sheffield, Mass, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday even- ings, of this week, and to our fri ends in that town we would say that you will miss series of rare treats if you fail to | attend their entertainments
